I got this corner-cut layout idea from a swap I received on the incentive trip from Ann Clemmer. (I shared it along with my other swaps on July 18th.) I thought it was clever and unique.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
Pretty Peacock Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded in half for the card base
Scrap for die-cutting/embossing the leaf (or use what is left over after cutting off the corner of the card base)
Gray Granite Cardstock
4″ x 5-1/4″
Early Espresso Cardstock
2-15/16″ x 2-15/16″
Scrap for punching two leaf clusters
Champagne Foil
Scrap for die-cutting/embossing the leaf
Come to Gather Designer Paper (pattern with white pumpkins and gray background)
Two pieces that are 1-3/8″ x 1-3/8″
Come to Gather Designer Paper (pattern with polka-dots on gray background)
Two pieces that are 1-3/8″ x 1-3/8″
Directions…
Measure 3″ up the right side and 3″ across the bottom from the lower right corner of the folded card base. Mark those two spots with a pencil. Then cut diagonally to remove the lower right corner of the card front.
Stamp the large leaf image on the upper left corner of the Gray Granite Cardstock using Pretty Peacock ink. And attach to the inside of the card.
Attach the Early Espresso square to the front of the card with Dimensionals.
Stamp the two sentiments with Early Espresso ink on the card front in the upper left and on the Gray Granite layer peeking out on the lower right.
Adhere the designer paper pieces to the Early Espresso square (now a diamond).
Die-cut and punch the leaves. (The dies also emboss at the same time!) Adhere them to the middle of the diamond using Glue Dots and Dimensionals.
This is what it looks like when I prepare to mail out my Stampers With ART make-n-take materials. My friend (and assistant) Vicki Spicer came over to help me with this process. Yay! Love that gal!
I’m already in the process of planning the October 16th make-n-takes. 😃
This past Sunday was our fantastic Creative Connections event in Medina, Minnesota! Our local leaders group puts this on for our team members each year. This year I helped with assembling name tags and checking in the 290 attendees when they arrived.
Everyone does their part in some small or large way. Those that demonstrated and presented this year were Sue Nurnberger, Amy Rich, Lisa Schultz, Beth Tetzlaff, Dawn Olchefske, Bj Peters, Donna Griffith, Brian Pilling, Kay Kalthoff, Patsy Waggoner and Karen Titus.
The room was packed with energy and ideas. There were display boards everywhere, prizes for everyone, and opportunities to visit and take photos. People were swapping cards and having a grand time soaking in what they could.
Thank you to Terri Gaines, Susan Campfield, and Georgia Giguere for taking the lead once again on this super affordable training event! Those in my team that attended were all smiles! And how fun it was to have Brian Pilling and Donna Griffith from the Stampin’ Up! home office spend their day with us again.
And it’s amazing what can happen with all these creative people get together! I’m looking forward to next year. Be a part of my community and you’ll be able to take part on August 9, 2020!

#APaperPumpkinThing Welcome to our monthly “A Paper Pumpkin Thing” blog hop! See what I have to share. Then check out all the other blogs in the hop to see additional creative alternate paper crafting project ideas that we each came up with using the contents of the August 2019 The Gift of Fall Paper Pumpkin kit. To follow the hop and see other creative project ideas, simply scroll down and click on the names of other hop participants.
Here is a photo of the intended projects from this month’s colorful, fall-themed kit which makes 6 gift bags and tags.
I’ve already shared a few other alternate projects using the contents of this kit on August 22nd.
A 12×12 Scrapbook Page Layout
A Treat Bag with a Window
Two Alternate Greeting Cards (plus one that I didn’t design)
Today I have three more projects to inspire your creativity and help you think outside the box.
A Circle Card
Thanksgiving Day Personalized Dinner Notes
and a Shirt Bag
All of these are super easy to make and only require a few extra tools and supplies. Products I used… See below for a complete list of extra products I used linked to where you can find them in my online store.
CIRCLE CARD
Circle cards are fun fold cards. They are made of circles layered on top of each other and connected with brads so the circles can rotate while the card extends open.
Here are photos of this one opening up…
They are simple to make, right!
Measurements for extra products…
Whisper White Cardstock
Scrap for die-cutting 3″ x 3″ Circle
Directions…
Stamp sentiment onto white side of narrow banner piece. Then adhere to the center of a yellow circular wreath.
Die-cut a 3″ x 3″ Whisper White circle.
Position wreath piece with sentiment on top of Whisper White circle, pierce a hole through both in the bottom about 1/4″ from the edge, then add a brad.
Twist top layer open. Layer the Whisper White circle on top of a second wreath piece. Pierce a hole through the white circle and the second wreath so that this hole is on the opposite side of where the first hole was made. Add a brad.
Open card all the way open. Stamp inside sentiment.
Embellish top circle with Flower Faceted Gems. Close the card back up after signing it, and give it in a 3″ x 3″ envelope.
THANKSGIVING DAY PERSONALIZED DINNER NOTES
Measurements for extra products for one note…
Crumb Cake Cardstock
3″ x 3″
Vellum Cardstock (or vellum scraps from the kit)
Scrap for punching leaves
Directions…
Stamp sentiment to the front of the envelope flap.
Punch a set of leaves from the extra vellum in the kit or Vellum Cardstock.
Attach the vellum leaves and the coordinating kit leaves to the underside of the flap of a 3″ x 3″ envelope using Glue Dots.
Tie a couple strands of twine into a bow. Add to the front of the flap with a Glue Dot.
Write a note telling your loved one why you are thankful for them on the Crumb Cake Cardstock and insert.
Make one of these for each guest attending Thanksgiving Day dinner, and present them at their place settings.
SHIRT BAG
This is a fun one!!! When I saw the banner, I pictured it as a neck tie. And one thing led to another. This is the same technique for making shirt cards (which I just realized I’ve never shared with you… Click here to see my friend Julie’s tutorial). I just applied this technique to the bag.
Directions…
Remove the handles and the extra layers of paper inside the bag.
Flatten the bag. Measure one inch down from each of the top two corners and then one inch in. Draw a line on each side to connect these two measurements.
Cut along the two lines. Fold the top corners diagonally in and down to connect the points together forming the shirt collar. (Don’t glue down yet.)
Make the tie…Mark 3/4″ in from each side at the top of the tie. Mark 3″ down from on each side. Connect the dots as shown. Then cut out the tie.
Stamp “enjoy” on the right side of one of the banners. Add this tie clip to the tie using a Glue Dot near the edge of the tie and a Dimensional at the end of the clip. Wrap the rest of the banner to the back and adhere or trim off the excess. Add a sequin if room.
Adhere tie to the bag front..
After stuffing bag with a gift or goody, glue the four flaps of the collar down with Glue Dots.
And give as a gift.
My circle card and shirt bag were featured in Paper Pumpkin’s Facebook Live Tuesday night. But Cole didn’t know that my bag was a bag. 😆🤦🏼♀️You’ll want to watch that live to see lots of other ideas and to see a HUGE SNEAK PEEK of the upcoming September kit! Cole made a haunted house from the kit contents!
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

I’m so in love with the Come Sail Away Suite of products! The colors are fabulous, the images are beautiful, and the patterns and designs in the papers are very striking. Plus it reminds me of my incentive trip. Of course the ship I was on for the Greek Isles was VERY different, but still…😉⚓️
This past Wednesday in my Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting class I focused on the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Pack and coordinating products. I went a little crazy and made thirteen cards and a couple treat containers.
I then uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook).

The Paper Pumpkin concept artists have done it again…designed a wonderfully unique kit! This month’s July 2019 Paper Pumpkin kit introduces subscribers to three fabulous suites of products in the 2019 Annual Catalog: Garden Lane, Woven Threads and Come Sail Away. And by doing so they have created a kit perfect for those who want to have a good variety of cards on hand ready to give.
Yes, this kit is fantastic as is. It includes supplies to put together 9 eclectic cards: 3 of 3 kinds and includes the supplies shown below.
But I like to think outside the box…see what else I can come up with, and create alternate cards, scrapbook pages and more. So I added the extra supplies in the product list at the bottom of this post to the above kit supplies and created my alternate projects that I’m sharing with you today:
Three Self-Closing Tube-Shaped Treat Containers
THREE 12×12 Scrapbook Page Layouts!
and Five Greeting Cards
Watch my video first to get to get measurements, directions, and tips (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog). Then scroll down to see close-up photos, access the links that I mentioned at the beginning of my video, and see a list of extra supplies (linked to my online store) that I used to make my creations. You’ll notice that the video is titled “Part 1.” Part 2 will be ready tomorrow. 😁
Here is a photo of the cards the kit instructs how to make.
And here are close-up photos of the alternate projects I made and shared in my video. (Remember to watch the video first to get measurements, tips and directions.)
THREE SELF-CLOSING TUBE-SHAPED TREAT CONTAINERS
The 12×12 designer paper allows for a much bigger size container as you can see!
THREE 12×12 SCRAPBOOK PAGE LAYOUTS
I sort of went overboard with this. My favorite is the last layout.
FIVE GREETING CARDS
I hope I inspired your creativity with what I shared today!

This year two all-inclusive favorites have returned: Lots of Happy and Notes of Kindness. Click here to see how I doubled the amount of cards in the Lots of Happy kit by adding Basic Black Cardstock. And click here to see how I turned the cards in the Notes of Kindness kit into birthday cards.
Like the other all-inclusive kits, everything you need is included: all the consumables, the stamps, a mini ink pad, a clear block for mounting and using your stamps, adhesives, and a directions sheet. I altered the intended cards just a little bit by using some of the extra supplies. Yep! This kit includes lots of extras so you can either add in extra card base pieces & envelopes to make additional cards OR use the extras to give your cards a little more 3-D effect…which is what I did.
The Looking Up kit makes 15 cards (3 of 5 kinds) and comes with fun coordinating envelopes. I love this kit because in includes a variety of sentiments, it’s easy to put together, AND the cards aren’t feminine. So you can make these cards for the guys (and kids!) in your life.
Watch this video by Stampin’ Up! first to see how to make the cards as intended. Then scroll down to see my variations.
I altered the hot air balloon card by attaching the extra balloon die-cuts with Dimensionals over the ones pre-printed on the card. I stamped some birds in the sky. And I added an extra copper metallic border sticker.
I altered the airplane card by attaching the extra airplane die-cut with Dimensionals slightly off center of the pre-printed one on the card to give it a shadow effect and give it an illusion of movement. I stamped some birds in the sky. And I added an extra copper metallic border sticker.
I altered the rain drops card by attaching the extra rain drops die-cuts with Glue Dots onto the sentiment layer. I also added copper metallic leaves from the extra sticker to the inside edges of the card.
I altered the palm tree card by attaching the extra palm tree die-cuts with Dimensionals. I also shifted the sentiment so it was centered and added an extra copper metallic border sticker on top of the first one to make it stronger and more solid in appearance.
And I altered the city sky line card by attaching the extra small tree die-cuts on the inside of the card – one with Glue Dots and one with Dimensionals. I also added two small diamond copper metallic stickers (left overs from one of the border stickers) on the sentiment piece to “anchor” the ends and give that layer a more finished look.
Did you notice those envelopes!?!! SO adorable how they all coordinate, right?
I hope I gave you a great peek into this new kit and gave you some ideas for making the cards a little more elaborate.
One more thing I want to point out is that you don’t have to use all the sentiments. So if you are needing 15 birthday cards, use the Happy Birthday stamp on ALL of them! The sentiments are all about the same size and can work on every label piece.

This past Tuesday I played with the new 2019-21 In Colors, the Woven Threads Designer Paper, the Floral Essence Stamp Set, and the In Color Faceted Dots in my Facebook Live Online Paper Crafting class. I shared how to “stretch” a designer paper layer and how I added a unique coordinating pocket inside my card to hold cash or a gift card.
